The El Paso Tin Mines- Abandoned Mines Anyone Can Visit! @ABANDONED

ABANDONED UNDERGROUND | The El Paso Tin Mines- Abandoned Mines Anyone Can Visit! @ABANDONED_UNDERGROUND | Uploaded January 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
We head to the northeast part of the Franklin Mountains in El Paso, TX to explore America's only tin mine. It operated from 1909 to 1915 producing about 16,000 pounds of tin. Today, the tin mines reside within the Franklin Mountains State Park. Anyone can visit the mine, (just pay a $5 entrance fee to the park) just remember to bring a flashlight!

The trailhead to the mine is at Chuck Heinrich Park, at the end of Jon Cunningham in northeast El Paso. It is roughly 3 1/2 miles up to the mine with an elevation gain of 900 feet (not too steep).

$The Fractured Abandoned Underground- Exploring the Copper Bear Mine Part 1 Today, our adventure leads to the mountains to explore an old, abandoned copper and lead mine that dates back to 1916. This mine is situated in a large section of highly fractured limestone that stretches for several hundred miles across the state! The vein the miners were chasing sits on a shallow angle that dips 5 to 15 degrees, so the stopes are all interconnected and can be traversed without any rope gear. The frightening fractures in this abandoned mine would subdue most peoples desire to explore this place, but here we are. Joining us are Kenny and Todd from the @ZiaMountainAdventures YouTube channel! I am glad to have met them and had a blast exploring this abandoned mine with them! Their perspective of this abandoned mine is here- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v 8O2zuH-3uE , and I highly suggest you check it out! You will see a lot more of me in their video (which Im not in front of the camera so much), also you will be seeing what I do from a different point of view and when Im not shooting video and gain much more insight to this abandoned mine with an amazing exploring partner. Todd got some great shots that I missed! If you are inclined to do so, head over to their channel, check out where theyve been and subscribe! The Zia Mountain Adventure Channel is here- https://www.youtube.com/c/ZiaMountainAdventures We initially thought we completed a full exploration of this mine, but as I studied the map further after I got back from this place, we missed A LOT! I figure we may have to return to finish this place out at a later time. Ill keep you updated, thanks for watching, and please subscribe! This video was shot in 4K HDR! If you have a capable HDR display, I highly suggest you watch it in HDR. There is a considerable difference in colors and lighting!
